In principle, the opening hours of primary and secondary school libraries are not less than 40 hours per week, and each student has not less than 1 book per year. The Ministry of Education recently issued a circular to standardize the management of primary and secondary school libraries.
The notice requires that the library should mainly borrow books on open shelves, make full use of corridors, classrooms and other spaces, and innovate the borrowing methods of books and periodicals on the premise of ensuring safety. During the teaching period, the weekly opening hours of the library shall not be less than 40 hours in principle. Encourage effective opening to teachers and students during after-school hours, legal holidays and winter and summer vacations.
The opening hours of primary and secondary school libraries vary from school to school. Under normal circumstances, primary and secondary school libraries are open at least five days a week to meet the needs of students for borrowing, reference and reading.
Primary and secondary school libraries are one of the important places to serve students and teachers. Since junior high school, it has gradually formed a scale, and most of them have specialized personnel management. Many schools also have activities such as "Reading Week" and "Reading Festival" to encourage students to read more and grow up healthily.
Although primary and secondary school libraries are open for more than five days a week, the opening hours may be different in different regions and schools. Some small-scale primary and secondary schools may only start school on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, while in places with high urbanization, many schools even open all day and all year round.
With the development of Internet technology, more and more primary and secondary schools provide online reading and borrowing services to students through the network platform, which greatly broadens the service channels of primary and secondary school libraries. In addition, some schools have extended their opening hours with the help of mobile phone applications, WeChat official accounts and other tools.
Generally speaking, primary and secondary school libraries are open at least five days a week to facilitate students' borrowing, reference and reading needs. There may be differences in the opening hours of different regions and schools, but through the development and innovative application of Internet technology, the opening hours of primary and secondary school libraries have been better expanded and extended, providing more convenient and diversified services for students' growth.
